Raised in Michigan and now based in Nashville, Billy Strings is known as one of music’s most compelling artists. In the midst of yet another landmark year, Strings released his acclaimed new album, Highway Prayers, this past fall on Reprise Records. Produced by Strings and Jon Brion (Fiona Apple, Mac Miller), the record debuted at #1 on Billboard’s all-genre Top Album Sales chart—the first time in 22 years that a bluegrass album has been the top-selling album across genres. Continuing to receive overwhelming praise, GQ calls Strings “the hottest roots-music phenomenon in decades," while Pitchfork declared, “the bluegrass wunderkind expands his palette, exploring new textures and emotional registers while staying true to his beloved genre.”
The new project follows Strings’ first live album, Billy Strings Live Vol. 1, which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Bluegrass Albums chart this past summer and is nominated for Best Bluegrass Album at the upcoming GRAMMY Awards®. Since his 2017 debut, Strings has also been awarded Best Bluegrass Album at the 63rd GRAMMY Awards, Artist of the Year at the 2023 and 2022 Americana Music Awards, Entertainer of the Year at the 2023, 2022, and 2021 International Bluegrass Music Awards, Best New Headliner at the 2022 Pollstar Awards, and Breakthrough Artist of the Pandemic at the 2021 Pollstar Awards, among several other accolades. Known for his electric live shows, Strings has performed countless sold-out dates worldwide and will continue his extensive headline tour through this spring, including upcoming stops in Nashville, Denver, Asheville, Atlanta, Lexington, and more.
